"That's me …" Ling Tian girly pointed at the girl in front of her with a nostalgic smile.
"You and Fa Yu?" Zhu Yao continued.
She nodded. Looking at the scene in front of her, a hint of infatuation surfaced in her eyes. "We grew up together. That was the happiest time of my life." She pondered for a moment, and then immediately shook her head. "No … I should say it was the happiest time of my entire life."
"Entire life!?" Zhu Yao was startled as she widened her eyes. She had memories of her entire life. However, anyone who reincarnated had to cross the River of Forgetfulness. How could she possibly remember?
She smiled, yet her eyes were calm. "I can't even remember how many lives I've reincarnated. However, ever since I gained sentience, I knew that I existed for the sake of this world's stability. This is my mission and mission. I can never leave and ascend. That's why I've always purposely not wanted to be too close to others. However … I'm still human, so how can I be completely heartless? "
Her expression sank, as though she was about to raise the corner of her lips. However, there was not a hint of a smile on her face. She turned to look at Zhu Yao and continued softly. "Fa Yu is that accident. When I met him, he was still a child … "
When her words fell, the scene of a chase in front of her flashed, turning into a stormy day filled with lightning and thunder. A thin and weak child was currently facing off against a pack of wolves with a dagger in hand. His entire body was covered in blood, and bone-deep wounds could be seen all over his body. His body was shaking, yet he still held onto the dagger tightly as he glared at the pack of wolves. However, how could a child deal with a pack of hungry wolves? Very quickly, the wounds on the child's body increased, and blood flowed endlessly. The ground was then dyed by the rain. Finally, he was pushed to the ground by a wolf, and his little arms no longer had the strength to raise the dagger in his hand. Just as he was about to lose his life to the wolves …
A spiritual sword suddenly descended from the sky, instantly killing the hungry wolf that was pouncing towards him. The spiritual sword released a terrifying sword aura, and the pack of wolves whimpered as they fled. Seemingly in an instant, the storm stopped, and even the dark clouds swiftly dispersed. A white-clothed woman appeared in the sky. She had a stunning appearance, yet her expression was cold, as though she would be injured if she were to approach her. Though she looked very unfamiliar. Zhu Yao felt that she was Ling Tian.
As expected, Ling Tian said. "Although I know that this is unjust, I still can't bear to do it …"
What happened next was very easy to guess. Ling Tian girly brought the child back to Spirit Heaven Palace and took him in as her disciple. He was personally taught by Fa Yu. Maybe it was because of what happened to him when he was young. Children are naturally unsociable. He only relied on his master who saved him wholeheartedly. But this dependence only increased as he grew older. A subtle change had taken place. It began to turn into a romantic relationship.
However, Ling Tian's lifespan was coming to an end, while Fa Yu's aptitude was exceptional. In the future, he would definitely be able to achieve great things. After Ling Tian noticed. Naturally, he didn't want him to be delayed. Fa Yu rejected his confession in all sorts of ways, and even deliberately suppressed him, but it was unable to extinguish the small flame in Fa Yu's heart. In fact, in order for Ling Tian to break through to the Soul Formation stage, he did not hesitate to enter deep into dangerous places to search for fortuitous encounters for her. He had almost lost his life.
"But how could he know that my lifespan is not something that can be controlled by cultivation?" A bitter smile appeared on Ling Tian's face. "I must exist in this world. No matter how many fortuitous encounters there are, it's useless to me. As a deity cultivator … I will never be able to become a deity in the first place, but he … "
She took a deep breath, as though she was trying to suppress the surging emotions in the depths of her heart. A moment later, she said. "I'm afraid that if he continues like this, something will definitely happen to him. So, I could only tell him about my reincarnation. I thought that after changing my appearance, as long as I refuse to admit it, he would naturally understand that I'm no longer me. As time passes, it will naturally fade away. "
Zhu Yao frowned. "He didn't believe me?"
"That child is too smart." Ling Tian let out a bitter laugh. It was unknown if he was feeling gratified or self-deprecating. "He recognized me at first glance. In fact, ever since I reincarnated, he had never mentioned a single word about what happened in the past. And, in order to accompany me, he used some unknown method to damage his own Nascent Soul cultivation, so that he could accompany me in my cultivation. He even single-handedly established Grandhall Sect because of my infrequent words. How can I not be moved by such deep emotions and righteousness? "
Zhu Yao was silent for a moment. "If that's the case, then why aren't you willing to wake up?" She was no longer in her body.
Shouldn't it be the end?
She suddenly smiled exceptionally brilliantly, yet Zhu Yao could not help but feel her heart ache. "Saintess … Because my time is up."
"What?" What did she mean?
"I came for this world, and I will definitely disappear from this world as well."
"…" Zhu Yao was completely dumbfounded. "But … I'm here to save you. I …"
"You've already saved me." Ling Tian girly was still smiling. "Of course, if you hadn't possessed my body, I wouldn't have been able to retain my final strand of life."
"…"
"Saintess … When you came, I was already dead."
Zhu Yao was stunned. Then, just what had she been busy with these past few days?
"Before you came, for the sake of this world, I had frozen my final strand of life. But … I still couldn't accept it, and wanted to see him. " Ling Tian took a step forward, hugged her, and then immediately let go. "Thank you. If not for you, I wouldn't have been able to see him one last time. I hope you won't blame me for acting on my own and forcefully allowing you to possess my body. But … what's stolen is still stolen. This … is fine as well … "
"You're saying, the reason why you're in such a state is because I left your body?" Zhu Yao was a little confused. She took a closer look at the girly's figure. Compared to when they first met, she was definitely much fainter. "Then … If I return, you'll be fine, right?"
"It's useless." She shook her head. Raising her head, she looked at the illusory sky and solemnly said. "This world is already beginning to collapse. My time is up …"
Zhu Yao suddenly recalled the Regretless Crossing, and the black hole above Spirit Heaven Palace. "I don't understand. Isn't the world supposed to not collapse as long as you're around?"
"Saintess … I'm here to patch up this world in the first place." The girly solemnly said. "Using your words, I'm the patch in the first place. It's just that it's time to install it."
"…"
— — — —
Zhu Yao retracted her divine sense. When she regained her senses from her meditative state, Ling Tian girly had already woken up. Fa Yu was currently hugging her, crying like a child. His arms were hugging her tightly, as though she would disappear at the very next second. He was calling out her name over and over again.
"Tiantian … You're awake. You're finally awake. Tiantian … Tiantian … "
Ling Tian still had a gentle smile on her face as she softly consoled him. As though no one else was around, she spoke all sorts of mushy words.
"Little Yu, don't worry. Aren't I fine now?"
"Mn. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you in the future! "
Zhu Yao silently turned around and left the house. Only then did she allow the sourness in the depths of her heart to surge up. The stuffiness was a little uncomfortable, and her eyes were faintly brimming with tears. She had not known Ling Tian girly for long. Not even a month had passed. The words they spoke did not even add up to three digits.
However, when she truly saw the word 'bug' appear on her face after she woke up. She could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. Only then did she understand what Realmspirit meant when he said that this world was already on the verge of collapse.
So when she woke up, Ling Tian had already died. The world had long begun to collapse. Ling Tian said that she had frozen the final strand of life. She just had to wait for the right time to wake up. To awaken this strand of life, and complete her mission.
In the beginning, Realmspirit's plan was to have her reincarnate on the sacred dragon's scale. With her Gold Deity strength, it would be a simple matter to protect her body until the right time. Unfortunately, she just couldn't let go of Fa Yu. That was why he allowed her to reincarnate into her body when she came to this world.
Who knew that due to a freak combination of factors, she would be expelled out of her body by Fa Yu, and returned to the sacred dragon's scale.
She wondered what Fa Yu would do if he knew the truth. However, things could no longer be salvaged.
Zhu Yao sighed. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise, and the entire Grandhall Sect shook. It was as though a gigantic magnetic field had suddenly appeared in the sky, and everything began to rise into the air, flying towards the sky. Mountain rocks, tiles, and various other random objects flew up one after another.
It was as though a hole had suddenly been poked into the clear sky earlier, and a circular hole appeared. The objects that flew into the sky earlier had all sunk into that darkness. A gigantic suction force came over, and even the entire floating mountain was approaching that hole.
"It's the same phenomenon as Spirit Heaven Palace!" A cry of surprise suddenly sounded from the sky. The people of the various sects had already surrounded them. Because of that black hole, Grandhall Sect's Mountain Barrier Formation had already disappeared. Fa Yu had already sensed it as well. He flew out on his sword, and looked at the people of the various sects with a dark expression.
The sudden appearance of the black hole caused the various sects to be a little flustered, but they were even more determined to capture Ling Tian.
"Ling Tian is a Witch as expected. We must capture her."
"That's right. Wherever she goes, this strange phenomenon will appear. It must be her doing. "
"Kill her! Quell the wrath of the Deities of the Higher Realm. "
"Kill her … Kill her!"
"Shut up!" Fa Yu glared at the crowd with bloodshot eyes. "No one is to touch her."
The various sects basically did not place Fa Yu in their eyes, as they summoned their weapons one after another.
"Sect Master Fa!" The leader, Fan Zhishan, took a step forward, and said with a righteous expression. "It's not that the various sects want to make things difficult for your Grandhall Sect, but you have seen it yourself. First, it was Spirit Heaven Palace, then Grandhall Sect. This is enough to prove that someone must have incurred the wrath of the heavens. Spirit Heaven Palace had been passed down since the Primordial Era, and the successive Sect Masters were all people who inherited the fate of the heavens. The term 'Ling Tian' is close to 'descending to the heavens', and it is still 'descending to listen to the will of the heavens'. That's why the Sect Master cannot be changed. I've said this before, you people have mistaken the wrong person. Initially, you people wanted to set things right, but Sect Master Fa just had to stop you. Now that you have incurred the wrath of the heavens, if you still do not rectify the situation, I'm afraid the consequences are not something Sect Master Fa can bear. "
"Bullshit." Fa Yu coldly glanced at the crowd, and then, he stared straight at Fan Zhishan. "What wrath of the heavens? Who can prove it? You're clearly trying to take advantage of the situation, and you people even came up with such a lousy excuse. If Ling Tian isn't the Sect Master, then how could a promiscuous and shameless slut like you be? Stop joking around. How can a slut like you, who absorbs the luck of others, be worthy of being called a person who inherited the fate of the heavens? Pui! Don't dirty my eyes! "
Fan Zhishan's expression changed. Clearly, she was frightened by his words about absorbing the luck of others. Her face instantly paled, and her face was filled with panic. How could she even think of retorting?
Sovereign Pi Shi, who was behind her, however, frowned. He took a step forward and summoned his own weapon. "Enough nonsense. Today, we must get rid of that scourge. Those who stand in our way shall die!"
Fa Yu did not have the intention to continue speaking nonsense with them either. Leading the disciples of Grandhall Sect, he charged over. For a moment, the sky was filled with the flashes of mystic arts.
Zhu Yao however did not have the heart to care about their battles. Instead, she raised her head to look at the black hole that was growing larger. Compared to the one she saw in Spirit Heaven Palace, it was clearly expanding at an even faster speed. She intentionally released her divine sense, only to realize that it was not just here. A few hundred meters away, there were similar black holes as well. It was as though the number of black holes would increase every once in a while.
This world was truly beginning to collapse.
"Ling Tian …" Zhu Yao could not help but look at Ling Tian who walked out of the house. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
Ling Tian, however, smiled with a relaxed look. She raised her head to look at the black hole in the sky, and a moment later, she turned to look at Zhu Yao. "I no longer have any regrets."
Zhu Yao clenched her fists. "Perhaps … there's another way?"
She shook her head. "It's already enough. Next up … I'll leave it to you. "
Zhu Yao instantly felt her heart suffocating. However, she nodded under Ling Tian's expectant gaze.
Step by step, she walked towards the plaza in front of the main hall. Her entire body began to emit out a golden radiance that grew brighter and brighter. She closed her eyes. Suddenly, a gigantic illusory figure appeared between the heaven and earth. It was Ling Tian's appearance. The radiance around her body grew brighter as well. Her entire body began to rise into the sky, and a gentle spiritual pressure instantly enveloped the entire ground. The things that were constantly being sucked into the black hole earlier suddenly stopped. As though someone had pressed a pause button, they floated in the air.
Even the crowd who were fighting in full swing had stopped as well. One after another, they turned their heads to look at this strange scene.
Only Fa Yu's face paled. As though he had guessed something, he flew towards the center of the golden light. "Tiantian, what are you trying to do? Hurry and stop. "
However, Ling Tian did not have any reaction, and continued to rise towards the direction of the black hole.
"Tiantian!" Fa Yu frantically tried to stop her. He used all sorts of mystic arts, but they were all useless. No matter what he did, he would be blocked by the golden light. In the beginning, he used his sword, and then he used mystic arts. In the end, he used all his strength to pound on it, and his hands were dripping with blood. Yet, no matter what he did, he was unable to destroy the light. His expression changed from the initial panic, to anger, and finally, to despair. "Tiantian … Tiantian, hurry and stop. Didn't you promise me earlier that we'll never be separated again? Didn't you promise me that? "
However, Ling Tian still did not reply.
"How can you be so heartless? Didn't you say that in this life, you'll definitely not leave me behind? You said that … Why, why? Master! "His eyes were crimson, and they were filled with despair and madness.
However, Ling Tian's figure did not stop in the slightest, as he slowly sank into the darkness. Fa Yu unhesitatingly flew in as well.
Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. With a wave of her hand, she materialized a chain of lightning, and pulled him back the moment before he entered the black hole.
"What are you doing? Release me! "Fa Yu began to struggle with all his might, wanting to enter as well." Tiantian! Master! "
